Chinoiserie Wallpaper Series-de Gournay

Today is the first in a series of posts I will be doing on the world's most beautiful wallpapers. It must have occurred to you by now that the world's most expensive and gorgeous papers, used by the top interior designers are Chinoiserie. We must be onto something here! The hand painted papers of de Gournay stand at the pinnacle of interior design. Their Chinoiserie series is based on 18th century designs. Notice how these papers are used in every type of room-entry, dressing room, bedroom, dining room, or living room. Everywhere they take center stage. Go through the pictures and visualize these rooms without the de Gournay. Although an investment, a room done in de Gournay certainly does not need artwork or much embellishment. Enjoy these stunning rooms by your favorite designers including Charlotte Moss, Miles Redd, Ruthie Sommers, Kelly Wearstler, and Martha Angus.

One after the other , after the other of yummy ones. If I won the lottery I would find it so difficult to pick which one for Moi! * I want to fling that chair OUT of the room in the first photo - too strong a colour against that lovely wallpaper - while I am at it - put that shirt in the cupboard too!!! LOL

Lady Jicky-You didn't mention the paint scribbled on the wallpaper in that first photo! I thought it would be fun to show a VERY different use of de Gournay-here a man's bedroom with a more modern approach.
